Type 1 diabetes usually affects young people. The body attacks and kills the insulin producing cells in the pancreas and about 80 percent of the cells are already killed by the time symptoms appear and diabetes is diagnosed. The experimental therapy hopes to stop the on-going attack and save the remaining 20 percent of insulin cells.

To participate, you must be between 14 and 35 years old and must have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes no longer than 12 weeks ago. For more information call 1-888-324-2140.
